AbstractBackgroundThe clinical effects of CHD can occur during the neonatal period, childhood, adolescent, and even adulthood. Some CHD in the adult population have indications for surgical management.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to review the role of humanitarian cardiac surgery missions in the surgical management of CHD in the adult population in a developing country.Materials and methodOver a 5.5-year period – June, 2003, February, 2013–October, 2017 – five different humanitarian cardiac surgery teams visited National Cardiothoracic Center of Excellence, Nigeria. During the period, they operated on adults with CHD. A retrospective study of the patients treated was performed using data obtained from our Hospital Information Technology Department. The demography of the patients, types of CHD, operative modalities, as well as the outcome was analysed using Microsoft Excel. The results were presented in arithmetic of percentages using tables.ResultsDuring the period, a total of 18 CHD patients were treated.

Diaphragmatic Plication

Diaphragmatic paralysis due to phrenic nerve injury is an occasional complication of cardiothoracic surgery. Although diaphragmatic plication is widely used to treat patients with severe irreversible symptoms, its surgical indication and timing remain controversial. Here, we present a rare case of diaphragmatic paralysis in a 65-year-old woman who underwent cardiac surgery and whose respiratory symptoms worsened despite >5 years of conservative management. Consequently, she underwent diaphragmatic plication using an endostapler to resect the redundant diaphragm, followed by over-suturing of all staple lines. She was discharged without any complications and her symptoms and chest radiography and spirometry results improved postoperatively.

Burns in the neonatal period are rare and most commonly due to iatrogenic causes. We report a case of a preterm neonate who sustained a full thickness electrical burn following the use of a temporary pacing pad. The case was complicated by significant co-morbidities and the need for cardiac surgery. We describe the surgical management of the case, using excision and closure in the form of a W-plasty. We discuss the reasons for this surgical decision and the importance of managing complex cases such as this on an individual basis.
